Last monday I "hurt" moy shoulder lifting heavy. 2 days later I was doing 110lb dbs on flat bench and heard a loud pop on the first one. I said fuck it and did 4 more on my own. I then hit the 120lb DBs on flat for 5 with a spot on the last one. No problems. Since then Ive been going lighter and rehab'ing shoulder.

I just did another 5K race on Saturday and did it in 25:30. A little slow for 3.1miles, but my first mile i was hitting around 7:37. So go figure I slowed it down purposely. Have to preserve some muscle for the competitions.

Today I did some shoulder work, triceps, and some pullups just to see what all I could do.

I have to start doing pushups everyday!!!! My arms are lagging a bit. Still am lean though.

Congratulations on carrying the Vegan Bodybuilding torch into the New York Times! Awesome to chat with you recently. I'm really proud of everything you've been doing and I'm looking forward to seeing you this year.
